A well conditioned floor and congenial surroundings, together with musiv of high degree as played with masterly skill by musicians chosen for their in dividual ability, thus ensuring a standard unexcelled by other musical organisations has eartiod for the Palais do Danse the distinction of tl.e city’s leading dancing hall by the acclama- ' tion of patrons during several seasons. I The band's ranga and choice of numbers incorporate all the latest and encore after encore is vociferously demanded. Coloured lights an I streamers added to the gay special*’t and a specially selected programme of winter-time numbers was indulged in from S o’clock till I*2. A delightful supper was served in a number of sittings and reflected credit U|on these responsible for its dispensation. The | time-honoured custom of waltzing for | Dame Fortune’s favour saw all present engage in the merry whirl, ami the lucky recipients of the Monte t'-wrlo: Mr. ami Mrs. Sharpe, Miss Crowell and Mr. Humbly, Miss Dennington and Mr. Linson, Miss .lenkensen and Mr. Sivet, Miss AT.
